Answer:

$29.47

Step-by-step explanation:

Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows

Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator

To find the PV using a financial calculator:

Cash flow in year 1 = 2

Cash flow in year 2 = 2.2

Cash flow in year 3 = 2.4 + 33

I = 11

PV = 29.47

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute
